Most energy consumption is for transportation and housing.

The US trade deficit with the rest of the world is only about 3% of gdp, that doesn’t buy much in the way of emissions.

That's true for states like California and perhaps the US generally, but in states like Texas industry uses half of all energy. ( https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=66224) Likewise for South Korea and China where over half is for industry. This is precisely because most states exported their heavy industry, both overseas and to states like Texas, which has many chemical plants and similar energy-intensive industry.

How is Europe similar then?

I’d expect the US spends vastly more energy on transportation (individual vehicles) and housing (larger, more AC, etc)

Of course it is, if you have offshored energy-intensive industries.
